Additionally, Wieringo co-plotted several issues and penciled the quirkily numbered [[Flashback (narrative)|flashback]] issue, # −1 (July 1997). During his run he signed a two–year contract with Marvel, beginning December 1997. After ''Spider-Man'', Wieringo's next major project was at [[Image Comics]], where he reteamed with Dezago on their [[creator ownership|creator-owned]] fantasy series ''[[Tellos]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.lambiek.net/artists/w/wieringo_mike.htm|title= Mike Wieringo|year= 2013|publisher= [[Lambiek|Lambiek Comiclopedia]]|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120910035939/http://www.lambiek.net/artists/w/wieringo_mike.htm|archive-date= September 10, 2012|url-status= live|access-date= December 29, 2013}}</ref> The comic, a coming-of-age adventure set in a magical, [[pirate|piratical]] world, ran 10 issues (May 1999–November 2000). The last three issues were released by [[Gorilla Comics]], a short-lived Image imprint co-founded by Wieringo and several other creators in 2000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/may00/dezago.shtml |title=Tell Us About ''Tellos'' |first=Jennifer M. |last=Contino |date=May 2000 |publisher=Sequentialtart.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924100542/http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/may00/dezago.shtml |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |url-status=live |access-date=April 25, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://archives.tcj.com/234/n_gorilla.html |title=The Case of the Disappearing Gorilla: The Banana Trust Explains How Not to Start a Comics Line |first=Michael |last=Dean |date=June 8, 2001 |location=Seattle, Washington |work=[[The Comics Journal]] #234 |publisher=[[Fantagraphics Books]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120081000/http://archives.tcj.com/234/n_gorilla.html |archive-date=January 20, 2012 |url-status=dead |access-date=March 4, 2012 }}</ref> Following the demise of the series, Wieringo also penciled one 13–page story in a post-series [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]], ''Tellos: Maiden Voyage'' #1 (March 2001). Wieringo returned to DC Comics for all but one issue of ''[[Superman (comic book)|The Adventures of Superman]]'' #592–600 (July 2001 – March 2002), with writer [[Joe Casey]].<ref>Cowsill, Alan "2000s" in Dolan, p. 305: "To celebrate the 600th issue of ''The Adventures of Superman'', the Man of Steel had a super-sized anniversary issue pitting him against Lex Luthor...With a script by Joe Casey and art by Mike Wieringo."</ref> He then returned to Marvel and reunited with writer [[Mark Waid]] on ''[[Fantastic Four (comic book)|Fantastic Four]]''. Beginning with #60 (October 2002), Wieringo eventually drew 27 issues of Waid's 37 issues, wrapping up their run with #524, by which time the previously relaunched series had returned to its original numbering. The comics-hobbyist [[webzine]] [[Newsarama]] commented that the Waid–Wieringo run "was perhaps best known for fan outcry when Marvel announced that [it was] going to replace the team. Marvel quickly reversed [its] decision, and the two completed their run on the series".<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.newsarama.com/Chicago_07/Ringo.html|title= Mike Wieringo Passes Away|first= Matt|last= Brady|date= n.d.|work= [[Newsarama]]|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070820232546/http://www.newsarama.com/Chicago_07/Ringo.html|archive-date= August 20, 2007|url-status= dead|access-date= August 13, 2007}}</ref> Wieringo penciled the interior art on issues #1–5 and #8–10 of ''[[Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man]]''<ref>Cowsill "2000s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 295: "In December [2005], a new regular Spidey series began...Written by Peter David and illustrated by Mike Wieringo."</ref> and was the cover artist of #1–19 (December 2005 – June 2007).
